standing fan

Floor-based air mover

A standing fan is a portable electric fan mounted on a tall adjustable pole, typically reaching waist to shoulder height.

Unlike desk fans or ceiling fans, standing fans can be repositioned around a room and usually oscillate to distribute airflow across a wider area: We moved the standing fan closer to the couch.
